Anyone dealt with tension or migraine headaches?

I have been dealing with a dull headache around the top of my head, behind my eyes, and down the back of my head for the last week or so. I went into the doctor a little over a week ago for an ear infection. The doctor said it was due to sinuses and gave me an antibiotic and a cortisone shot. I finished the last pill for the antibiotics yesterday and I still have all the symptoms I had when I first went in. I'm starting to think I have tension headaches or migraines. I'm going back to the doctor tomorrow, so we shall see. A bit worried it could be something worse, but I think that's my nerves messing with me.

Encephalitis...
But seriously, I don't smoke, but when I get that feeling a single cigarette is the only thing that relieves the pain.

Yes. Mine started at age 40, which is apparently rare. I started taking a fizzy magnesium supplement at night, which seems to lessen them.

Go get your eyes checked
Might be eye strain

I get optical migraines. No pain, but visual effects. Like looking through a pane of jagged glass.

I have both. Migraines hit me like a ton of bricks and are brutal. Tension headaches are really bad, but I can function.
Try Excedrin migraine and some caffeine.
I need a cold dark room and quiet. A nice cold washcloth over my eyes helps as does massage.
Hope you feel better.

Ask for ketorolac aka toradol... I get migraines and this is what I use with Excedrin... works every time... also take a multivitamin, those help a lot

I have a cyst in my brain that causes me to have tension headaches several days a week. Kratom has been a life saver but the DEA ruined that for us

Thanks fellas. I'm mid to late 20's and I have never really had any issues. I have dealt with some anxiety problems when I was finishing college but haven't had any of those issues in a while.

I started getting bad Migraines in my early 20's, and had all kinds of test done. But it ended up being my eyes, and got some glasses.

My #1 choice is Toradol. I have the pills and I have a few vials of it so if my headache is bad enough I can get my husband to give me a shot.
You can also take a clean sock, put uncooked rice in it, tie it closed and microwave it. It's pliable so it conforms to wherever you put it. It works for me and i have migraines bad enough where I have had to go to the hospital.
Hope you feel better soon

Check that grim. It could be bad news.

Nothing works for me expect time. Well and pain.

Try taking two Benadryl, free ibuprofen, two Tylenol, and a large bottle of Gatorade, and take a nap

When y'all say time, how long are y'all talking? I have had this dull headache for about 7-8 days straight.

I'm no doctor, but that doesn't sound normal. When I had migraines years ago they would last for an hour or two. Much worse pain, though, obviously.

Doesn't sound like the migraines I have. I see a "aura" then lose eye sight in my left eye before the headache type pain even begins.
Ask your doc about imatrex. I take that, tramadol, and find a dark room when I feel one coming on.

Lisinopril works wonders for migraine prevention.
